This is one of our favourite Make Travel Matter® Experiences - a visit to the Dundreggan Rewilding Centre, featured in many of our multi-day tours. Watching the incredible team at Trees for Life work their magic in rewilding the Scottish Highlands is always a highlight for our guests (and us!). 🌲 More info on our MTM Experiences here: https://lnkd.in/e5K9_RJS #WorldTourismDay #SustainableTourism
Did you know that today, less than 2% remains of what was once an estimated one million hectares of wild pinewoods in Scotland? 🌲 Our partnership with Trees for Life is supporting the critical Wild Pine Project. This #WorldTourismDay, learn about how rewilding the Scottish Highlands helps to restore nature and strengthen communities. #NetZero #ClimateAction #RewildingScotland #VisitScotland

What a fantastic day at Queen Margaret University's Freshers Fair yesterday!🎉 Our HAGGiS Adventures team Essi Eskelinen and Katja Mäki-Komsi had an amazing time meeting students from across the UK and all over the world 🌍. With our lucky wheel spinning non-stop and the #DeepScottishLove t-shirts flying off the stand (gone in just 30 minutes!), the atmosphere was buzzing with good vibes. It was great to hear so many students share their dream of visiting Skye, with a few Skye locals even stopping by to chat about our tours. The highlight of our stand was the chance to win a 3-day tour to the Isle of Skye... we can’t wait to see who will be the lucky winner! Thanks to the organisers for having us - we’re excited to meet more students and chat about their Scottish travels at future Freshers Fairs. #HAGGiSAdventures #FreshersFair

Just another day at the "office" for #HighlandExplorerTours 📸🌲 We recently hit the road for a photoshoot, tracing the route of our 1-day Loch Ness tour from Edinburgh. From Glen Coe to the waters of Loch Ness and a wee lunch break at Fort Augustus… the shoot quickly turned into an adventure of its own! Huge thanks to Essi Eskelinen for taking these stunning shots, and shoutout to Katja Mäki-Komsi and Callum Thomson for being such fantastic models! #LochNess #GlenCoe #Photoshoot #ScottishSummer

Please take a moment to participate in the online consultation and share your views.

New project alert! 🔊 Together with The TreadRight Foundation, we proudly partner with the Barena Association in Italy to preserve the Northern Venetian Lagoon, its wetlands and wildlife. 🌲💧 The habitats of the Northern Venetian Lagoon are disappearing fast, primarily due to human impact. The Barena Association’s main project, SOS Barena, aims to protect and restore the salt marshes, that are coastal wetlands that are flooded and drained by salt water and are important for wildlife and maintaining water quality. Our grant will fund the construction of a 150-meter barrier along the salt marshes’ edge. This barrier will be filled with mud to allow native vegetation to grow, creating a natural, long-term defense against erosion. This will help protect approximately 3.24 hectares of salt marsh and avoid CO2 emissions of 17.7 to 59.3 tonnes through habitat sequestration. Learn more about the Barena Association and our partnership here: https://lnkd.in/gHbUSEgS

For Earth Day, we hosted a film screening of 'David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet', accompanied by healthy snacks 🌍 After the film, we had a discussion about practical steps we can take in our day-to-day to live more sustainably. Some of the suggestions included: ◼ Shop mindfully - consider what's in your food and its origin ◼ Share plant-based or vegetarian recipes with the team ◼ Avoid products containing palm oil, or opt for sustainably sourced palm oil Thanks to everyone who was able to come along! #EarthDay #EarthMonth #TTCSustainabilityChallenge24
